What a difference a single episode can make to an entire season. A week ago the LF show was primarily about how we don't have anyone likeable to root for. Now, Jane made a complete turn around by winning immunity again, and we can't seem to say enough about how refreshing it was to see Holly and NaOnka serve a major dose of come uppance to what appeared to be a completely over confident Brenda.

Reminder:This week will be a recap show. There is no Tribal Council. We will be back with the podcast on Wednesday, December 1st which is also when your next JSFL picks are due.

For each episode, we provide 3 podcasts: an episode recap, an interview with the castoff and a chance for Survivor fans like yourself to sound off on what you saw and how you think the castaways are fairing in the game. Twenty four shared their thoughts on episode 10 and predictions for what we'll see next.

We've got several ways you can reach us. You can call and leave a voicemail at 206-350-1547. You can record an audio comment and attach it or just type up a quick text message and send it to us via email at joannandstacyshow@gmail.com.

This week we interviewed Brenda Lowe. She left the game in episode 10 of Survivor Nicaragua. Brenda went from being the most dominant player of the season with what looked like complete control over the game to being powerless when her mastery of the social elements of the game slipped away from her.

Listen to this audio interview to learn why Jane turned on her, who stoked the fire with extra wood before going to the challenge, what Brenda saw in NaOnka and lots more!

Wow! It actually happened. The sheep woke up and realized they were being led to slaughter, and they took action to change the outcome. Kudos to Holly, NaOnka, Benry and Fabio for taking an active role in their own destiny in the game. Survivor Nicaragua just got a lot more interesting.

NaOnka appeared to be instrumental in overthrowing King Brenda. Is that enough to make her a contender for the million again? Could you see yourself voting for Chase to win the million at this point? What would he have to do to become a contender? A lot of people are rooting for Fabio. Do you think he could win it at this point? Who do you think has the power now in the game?

Jo Ann predicted that Sash would be the next to join the jury. Stacy thinks Chase will be on the chopping block. Who is your pick for the next one to be voted out?

There was a common theme in the feedback this week. We heard loud and clear that you're having trouble finding anyone left to root for amongst the remaining castaways. One fan went so far as to compare Nicaragua to the extremly disappointing Fiji season. Jane's popularity continues to plummet, and we all wonder what she will do now that she does not have Marty to focus on. If you have not already seen it, make sure to check out Purple Kelly's "I woke up on day 23" extra video. It's an instant classic! Don't you wish you picked her for your USB now?

For each episode, we provide 3 podcasts: an episode recap, an interview with the castoff and a chance for Survivor fans like yourself to sound off on what you saw and how you think the castaways are fairing in the game. Twenty one shared their thoughts on episode 9 and predictions for what we'll see next.

This week we interviewed Marty Piombo. He left the game in episode 9 of Survivor Nicaragua. Marty took control of Espada only to have it yanked away by a twist in the game. After the shuffle, Marty lost his majority vote and endured a long drawn out battle to survive each week. He will be remembered in Survivor history for two events: his courage to hold on to the HII in the face of imminent danger one week and his willingness to give it and any semblance of control of his future away the next.

Listen to this audio interview to learn what Jane said early on that caused him to avoid an alliance with her, his response to her very personal attacks on his character, when he found out about Sash's betrayal, and lots more!

Hey, maybe there are more than 3 people actually playing to win this season. Episode 9 showed us that there are other castaways besides Brenda, Sash, and Marty willing to take some risks and take action to improve their chances to win the million. Chase, Holly and Jane have an alliance as does Dan, Benry and Fabio.

Do you think there's anything that NaOnka could do to the tribe that would get her voted out at this point? How do you think she would react if Brenda or Sash were criticizing her? What will Jane do now that she doesn't have Marty to focus all her energy on? Do you think Chase can survive without Brenda's support? What's your guess for the "big" surprise moment in episode 10?

Jo Ann grudgingly predicted that Jane would be voted out next. Stacy thinks Chase will be the next to go. Who is your pick for the next one to be voted out?

Jane's bloodlust to vote out Marty and her willingness to show off in the challenge had many of you re-thinking her prospects in the game. It was also no surprise that very little if anything postivie was said about NaOnka. Another recurring theme is the question of how long can Sash and Brenda hold it together before turning on each other.

For each episode, we provide 3 podcasts: an episode recap, an interview with the castoff and a chance for Survivor fans like yourself to sound off on what you saw and how you think the castaways are fairing in the game. Eighteen shared their thoughts on episode 8 and predictions for what we'll see next.

This week we interviewed Alina Wilson. She left the game in episode 8 of Survivor Nicaragua. It certinaly does not pay to be a castaway and a fan of Survivor this season. Alina is the third fan in a row to be elimnated from the game. Despite being a target for elimination since episode 2, she was able to hang in there and keep fighting and strategizing all the way to day 22.

Listen to this audio interview to learn who drank too much Rum at the merge feast, why Benry called her a dirt squirrel, who she would like to see win and lots more!

Yay, the merge is here! Now we transition into the second, more complicated phase of the game. The consequence of actions carries greater weight. Each remaining castaway has to be prepared to convince everyone that gets voted out that they deserve a million dollars. It also brings with it the opportunity to overthrow previous alliances. Anyone that isn't in the top tier of an alliance could flip and better their standing in the game. Every tribal council that consists of an odd number of votes opens the door for the "swing vote". Someone on the outside or at the bottom of an alliance can break the tie vote and dramatically change their future.

Do you think Brenda, Sash and NaOnka have a lock on final 3 at this point? Who's their biggest threat and most likely to challenge them in the next episode? Who do you think is most likely to flip the game on its head? How would you have responded to NaOnka and Alina's admission to stealing from the tribe? How do you compare what they did to Jane or Holly's previous actions? Who from the original Espada tribe stands a chance to make it to final 5? Who do you think will get voted out first: NaOnka or Fabio?

Jo Ann and Stacy both think Marty will be the next to go. Who is your pick for the next one to be voted out?

Marty's actions managed to divide us again. Some thought his choice to hand over the immunity idol made perfect sense, and others didn't hesitate to compare him to the famous ice cream scooper from Hell, Michigan. As expected Purple Kelly's first confessional was a resounding hit, enjoyed by one and all. Judd and NaOnka continued to polarize the fans, but most everyone supported Jane's private feast.

Twenty one shared their thoughts on episode 7 and predictions for what we'll see next.
